Hello, I was just wondering and wanted to get peoples opinions on this. I have a 2014 civic lx with 134k miles on it. Its my first car straight out of colllege, ive owned it for 2 years, annnnnddd recently ive been very tired of it. I think as a 24 year old now, is time for a big boy car. I dont know what to do, should i just go for my "dream"car which is a charger srt (like most dumb young people lmao) but ill be realistic, i cant afford that one lol.
So ive been looking at the 2020 Charger RT, but im not sure if thats honestly a good investment? IM always hearing that these cars suck and that its expensive and so that kind of brings me down and bums me out. Scotty always talks smack about chargers so idk. I wanna be like screw it, im only young once ima go for it.
If not that then what about a new civic SI? (even though scotty talks smack about those too haha) I would not abuse either one f these cars, id obviously speed every now and then on the freeway for fun or something but i wouldn't do something like constant donuts lmfao.
idk, i just want peoples opinion. What what you do?
I would get the civic si. You get less depreciation, your insurance will be cheaper and it is more reliable than Dodge.
I’ve mentioned this before but the main issue (aside from the powertrain) is the rest of the vehicle’s quality is not up to par (trim pieces, electronics/electrical for example), so it’s a hit or miss quality-wise. To be honest, we don’t recommend buying the new muscle cars for long term ownership from any of the Big 3, sad but true.
Also, if you really must have it, consider leasing it while it’s under warranty. That way anything happens they have to fix it on their dime (assuming you have not modded anything and been on top of the maintenance, of course - always read the fine print!)
Don't forget to price out insurance as well! That may impact your decision.
I traded my 2019 Charger R/T for my 2020 Accord. The insurance on the Dodge was insane and the quality was also poor.
I would recommend the Civic.
Chargers are not great vehicles. You would be better off with the civic si
